Hundreds gather to honor Ehr By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com His friends described him as knowing everyone. And as hundreds filed into the Newman Center on Thursday, it proved true. Alex Ehr, a UK sophomore and Delta Sigma Phi member, died Wednesday evening after battling cancer since he was diagnosed in early November. “He fought for his life until the very end,” said Andrew Greer, Ehr’s fraternity brother and roommate last year. Greer was the first to speak at the candlelight vigil when the floor was opened. “As a roommate, Alex was always there when I needed him,” he said. Ehr was always all smiles and was a “goofy guy,” Greer said. “Some people make the world special just by being in it.” Despite the pouring rain on Thursday, people lined up outside waiting to sign the guestbook, which the fraternity will send to Ehr’s family in Wisconsin. Delta Sig brothers had to gather more chairs multiple times to accommodate everyone. “I think everyone needed some sort of closure,” said Micah Fielden, former Delta Sig president and UK’s current student body president. “It’s our duty to show his family how supportive everyone is.” The vigil started and ended with the fraternity prayer, as more than 100 brothers spoke together in unison, honoring their brother. “Everyone considers him a brother tonight,” Ryan Lehane, Delta Sig’s current president, said. “Alex was a warrior during the final days.” Ehr went home in early November, but he didn’t know he had cancer at that point, said Mark Jacob, a Delta Sig member.

said at first it was thought to be pneumonia, and it wasn’t until Ehr went home that he was diagnosed. “He kept saying he was going to come back,” Jacob said. Two weeks ago, Jacob said he spoke to Ehr on the phone, and they were still talking about living with each other next year. Before Ehr died, Jacob said Ehr wrote down on a piece of paper, “I love God, I have to go.” Ehr’s cancer was rare, Fielden said, with about 200 cases a year. “It just happened so quick. We had no idea,” Fielden said. Delta Sig brothers Miles Hart, Greer and Jacob said Ehr was involved in multiple intramurals and was always playing something. They said they would joke around and give him a hard time, but he took it so well. “I could ask him anything and he would always do it,” Hart said. The fraternity created a Facebook event page to get the word out about the candlelight vigil. More than 800 people had responded by RSVPing or offering condolences on the page before the vigil began. Isaac Hallam, a senior in the fraternity, helped plan the vigil and said, “we had to do something.” He said Ehr was a person who was unappreciated. “You don’t know how good you got it until you lost it,” he said. With the amount of people who came, Jacob said he wasn’t surprised. “He met more people his freshman year than I have in the past 10 years,” Jacob said. “We will remember him by how many people knew him.” And as everyone lit their candles, the church glowed with the hundreds of faces of those who knew Alex Ehr.

Staff picks UK 75 Vandy 63 The Cats have taken their share of bumps and bruises on the road this season. Fortunately for them, Saturday's game will return them to Rupp where they will capture Calipari's 50th consecutive home win. If Vandy's sharpshooting couldn't do it in Nashville then giving the Cats game tape to study won't allow a second meeting to greet them with a pretty result. Expect Gilchrist to guard Jenkins this go around, limiting the Commordores scoring. —Cody Porter
UK 79 Vandy 67 UK's perimeter defense was suffocating down the stretch in Starkville on Tuesday. Put that effort in Rupp and it becomes even better. Vandy always seems to pour in shots when playing in Lexington, but MKG and company on the perimeter will keep it in check enough to make this a comfortable victory. —David Schuh
UK 61 Vandy 48 The Cats completely suffocated Vandy in the final minutes in Nashville, and the Commodores will have that finish in mind when they come to Lexington Saturday. I expect a tough, bruising foul-filled contest. Every bucket will be a struggle, but the Cats prevail and continue their march towards an undefeated conference record. —Les Johns
3 things to watch vs. Vandy
Cats clinch share of first SEC title since 81-82 Les Johns ljohns@kykernel.com UK Hoops endured an imperfect script of interior defensive breakdowns, a late-game technical foul and no production from the seniors in their final home game, but still managed to compose a storybook ending. The Cats finished off an undefeated home season and secured at least a share of its first SEC regular-season title since 1982 with a 53-50 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks Thursday night at Memorial Coliseum. Three seniors, Crystal Riley, Amber Smith and Keyla Snowden, were recognized in a pre-game Senior Night ceremony. The trio combined for 26 minutes of play — scoring no points on 0-for-4 shooting from the floor. “When we look back at it 20 years from now we're not going to think 'I had such-and-such points,' we are going think 'we left this season undefeated (at home),'” said Snowden. Meanwhile South Carolina forwards Charenee Stephens and Sancheon White were posting up deep on the block and scoring regularly, hitting a combined 11-for-16 from the field for 23 points. “I wish we were a little deeper in the post because I would have subbed her (Samarie Walker),” said Mitchell. “I think

she got a little tired. It was hot in there tonight. She’s still developing as a defensive player.” UK freshman Bria Goss was assessed a technical foul with three seconds remaining in the game. With the Cats up 53-48, South Carolina had to bring the ball the entire length of the court with four seconds left. The Gamecocks rolled the ball in to preserve time. Goss hustled to the spot, dove on the ball, gained possession and called a quick timeout. “She was just hustling,” said Snowden. “It was a hustle play. When you are in that moment of the game you just kind of react.” Unfortunately for the Cats, they were out of timeouts. “The only thing I was upset about was that I [told them to] let them roll it in and get back. She kept getting up like she wanted to guard the ball and I told her to get back and let them roll it in no problem,” said Mitchell. “It’s five points. She dives on the floor and we were still in good shape until she made the ‘T’ sign. Then they T’d us.” South Carolina senior guard La'Keisha Sutton made both of the technical free throws to make it a one-possession game at 53-30. The Gamecocks threw a three-quarter court inbound pass that was deflected and ultimately stolen by Meagan Conwright, who dribbled out the last three seconds for the UK victory. UK junior guard A'dia Mathies played an aggressive offensive game, leading the Cats with 21 poins on 8-for-17 shooting from the floor. “We just didn’t have a lot of other people step up early,” Mitchell said. “It was good that she was aggressive.” Goss added 14 points on 6-for-11 shooting. “She is really, really just playing so terrific for a freshman with so much on the line. She knows what’s on the line,” said Mitchell. “As a coach it’s great to have someone that works that hard and embraces big moments like that.” The Cats finished undefeated at home (18-0) and is the only team in the SEC to win all their conference home games

Three things to watch for when UK plays Vanderbilt: 1. Keeping up with the Jones — Terrence Jones had a solid game against Mississippi State, recording 11 points and six rebounds. For the most part, Jones took on the challenge of the Bulldogs’ big frontcourt. For the most part. AARON Head coach John CaliSMITH pari was, again, asking for a more consistent effort. He Kernel columnist said Jones got pushed around in the first half and had to be “mean” to get Jones going. “Like I tell these guys, ‘If it takes me being mean to you for you to play, come on, man,” Calipari said. “Why should I have to do that?’” Calipari shouldn’t have to, but he still is. Again Vanderbilt — another team with size and tough frontcourt matchups — see if Jones can sustain a better effort. If he starts doing that — not in terms of sheer, 25/10type numbers, but just in terms of consistent effort — he adds so much to UK as they chase a title. 2. In the zone — The past three games, UK has encountered a substantial dose of zone defenses. Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State all threw a zone at the Cats in hopes of slowing their offense. If it worked, it was a minimal amount. Much of UK’s closing 20-4 run at Mississippi State was against a zone. Vanderbilt did, however, have good success with it the first time the two teams played. The Commodores used it throughout the second half as they made a comeback. At this point, UK might want to see more of it. If the Cats keep disproving that a zone defense can make their offense falter, that’s one less option for opposing coaches to try. And there’s not many left as it is. 3. Maintain the edge — UK has SEE Vandy PAGE 6 02.24.12 | weekend timeout | 5

timeout diversions Vandy From Page 5 won 50 straight home games. The Cats’ most recent road comeback win gives off a sense of accomplishment. Nearly every national media member is locking UK in place as the national championship favorite (and, in some cases, guaranteeing it).
UK can’t get complacent. The players aren’t — there’s no way Calipari would let them, not at this point of the season — but against a team this talented, with postseason play rapidly approaching, UK doesn’t want a letdown, and don’t expect it. UK can clinch its 45th SEC regular-season title outright with a win. Do expect that.

Stern begins TV judging gig LOS ANGELES — Howard Stern came to Los Angeles last Friday to begin his tenure as “America’s Got Talent’s” newest judge. And, by his own admission, this may not be the Howard Stern most people expected to see. “There were times when I was downright compassionate,” Stern told KNBC-TV outside the season’s first auditions, held at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A. Stern is making the cross-country commute so he can record both the auditions and his Sirius XM satellite show in New York. He was back on the air on Tuesday raving about how much he loves his new gig. Once the audition process is over, the show itself will tape in New York City, to accommodate Stern’s schedule. Longtime Stern fans no doubt got an extra kick hearing him praise his new work family at NBCUniversal. Stern was famously fired from the radio station WNBC-AM in New York in 1985. Stern said at the L.A. audition that he’s not trying to play into any expectations about him. “You don’t want to be a stereo-

He’s still got some bite. As he explained, “It’s a little weird, the first day out, I buzzed a 9year-old kid. The kid was adorable, but I did it, man, you’ve got to do it. I said, ‘Look, you’re cute, you’re adorable, but, goodness gracious, you don’t belong on “America’s Got Talent,”‘ and you just feel like the devil himself.” The Parents Television Council has raised objections to Stern’s addition to the program and stories like that are no doubt giving them fits.
